Yarrow Stalks (7 Inch)

Also available as part of Wu Wei's Complete I Ching Kit, these Yarrow Stalks have been hand-picked in northeast China and individually groomed by hand, specifically for use in divination with the I Ching. Each package contains fifty stalks with a message about their origin. Review: Excellent - Excellent condition and symmetry. Perfect for use in I Ching. Review: Fast arrival, and everything as promised - Some reviews have complained the stalks are fragile, but hey--they're plant stalks. Duh. But I think they seem plenty durable for counting and casting lines for hexagrams. And I like the shorter length (7 inches), making them easier to manipulate and hold while dividing and counting. My set came with exactly the promised 50. (One was a little knobby on one end. So I just use that stalk to set aside for the process, which only uses 49 anyway.) And I received the bundle super fast--several days before predicted. But I do recommend finding something to store them when not using. My solution was to use a cardboard cylinder I got that used to hold incense sticks. I also like the natural texture: They just feel good between my fingers and make me feel more connected to the tradition. Kinda sets the mood and puts me in the zone.

Poor quality shipping, good product
Product quality is good - But.... the shipping was sloppy, at best. The package at my door had two sticks outside on the floor. When I picked it up, another fell out - The cardboard outer covering was open on both sides and the poor quality band did not hold the sticks and the paper Amazon band was broken. Luckily when I counted the sticks there was still 51. Amazon should review its shipping procedures for this product.

old school method
I got the bollingen series I ching years ago, don't have that anymore (or these), but it is neat to have this when you do it, seeing as how it takes longer, much longer, to get to the answer with this method, so it gives you time to focus on the question, or, truthfully, gives you more time to zone out and do this drawn out method, letting your brain go and reach into the universe INSTEAD of fixating on the question, flipping some coins, and getting a quick(er) answer. plus it just feels like a time honored way of doing it, ummm cause it is!
